Former US Presidents including Obama & Bush as well as Hollywood elite like Tom Hanks have been part of Major League Baseball’s celebrity ritual of throwing the first pitch. The Canada-based crooner from Gurdaspur, was the chosen one at Robers Centre stadium, playing to the beats of his hit number Brown Munde.
In a first, Punjabi singer and artist AP Dhillon, who shot to fame with his chart-topping numbers like Brown Munde, Summer High and Fate, threw the official ceremonial first pitch for Canadian Major League Baseball team Toronto Blue Jays in their American League baseball match against the Tampa Bay Rays at the Roberts Centre stadium in Toronto on Tuesday night.
The Gurdaspur-born 29-year-old Dhillon, who is now based in Canada and does shows across the world, was donning a blue and white two-time Major League Baseball champions Toronto Blue Jays jersey, and accompanied the team’s mascot Ace on the pitch before making the official ceremonial first throw of the match.
